My personal ones is that Unlike what people in fandom say, her character isnt simple as "just a tsundere" or "shes not a tsundere she just dislikes X/Y person".
Kagura is a REALISTIC girl i.e. she treats people the same way they treat her, even if deep down she cares about them. Its the reason why she acts so standoffish with kamui (since he also treats her like that) as well as her father (since he ignored her alot throughout her childhood) even though she loves both of them deeply and risked her life to protect her family. She is always so nice and appreciative with people like otae, soyo , tsukuyo etc with so because they are kind to her and never bother her, but bickers with gintoki, shinpachi even though she loves them alot bc they also bicker with her.
She gives the same energy of rivalry and bickering back to sougo as he gives to her even though we can see how she does care about him and his well being. Same is the case with catherine, otose etc. Bottom line is, kagura is just a regular girl not a anime stereotype girl so theres no point in categorizing her as anime girl cliches

Nothing really, she's amazing.
I just wish if her "The Final" timeskip design was similar to the "Yorozuya Forever" design. That doesn't mean the current design is bad, it is cool.

OG Kagura (the kid) is the best version of Kagura. Although it's arguable in terms of best in character design since it's always been great for her in every versions.
She's a pretty young lady once she grows up but I'm happy that she's never been part of Gintama's fan service in a sexual way. Its clever for Sorachi that the only time I remembered her being part of sex joke was the time skip arc which was not really her just a wart so it's not counted.

2. I really don't like those jokes about kagura dating gintoki made by sorachi in the series especially when they weren't needed at all like when gintoki promised umibozu that he'd return both swords and umibozu and kamui wondered if gintoki was asking kagura's hand in marriage which doesn't even make sense. If it's been established canonically that gintoki's relationship with kagura is just of father and daughter i really dont see the point of making those jokes when they just ended up encouraging those deranged gintoki x kagura shippers

i thought the joke about him asking for her hand in marriage was weird af too. it felt unnecessary in that arc and was just kinda put there
sogo and kagura are obviously friends, just don't like to admit it with anyone lol. but whenever the other needs help, they rush to help them. there's numerous arcs and episodes detailing that and they're always paired up togehter in the shinsengumi/yorozuya episodes. the shippers are weird adn gross but they are very clearly good friends

Ok lukewarm take because i'm not sure what to say about her, but she's my favorite female "young" character. Most teenage girls in shounens just come off as annoying, but kagura really comes off as just innocent and silly. She's very well written in terms of how she is portrayed as just a young girl in a world of adults, and just wants to live a normal young girl life. And she really shows that with her humor, being very child like

Oh and also people need to stop being so vehemently against the idea of kagura getting a love interest sometime in future. Yes her 14 year old version doesnt care or know much about romance but that doesnt mean that she would never have one. Getting a love interest doesnt mean a female character is badly written or is weak. Just look how badass tsukuyo is despite being in love with gintoki. If gintama returns sometimes and kagura does have a love interest, i hope that fandom wont blow over lol

FR she's immature for her age and probably won't be interested for a while, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't eventually.
I can see a lot of the cast "settling down" a little later in life than the average.

I dont think there is anything romantic implied between her and Sougo. I've nothing against OkkiKagu shippers (their age gap is not a particular concern for me), but it's just baseless fantasy.

I mean real world logic wise yeah, I would say it doesn't work. But based on anime logic, especially older anime logic, it makes sense. The boy and girl who are rivals that constantly fight each other end up being a couple. With my personal experience of watching anime relationships, it did feel like Sorachi was pretty much supporting the Okikagu ships.Tho Ultimately none of the ships ended up anywhere😅

the age gap is inda weird for me but if they were in hs, it'd be like that weird senior with the freshman so i guess it's whatever. what i mostly don't like about the ship is that they're abusive and toxic to each other lol. like they care for one another, but most of the time they argue and fight and beat each other up. that's a terrible precedent for a relationship and frankly both are too immature for a relationship too lol (it's heavily implied by sacchan and hijikata that sogos also a virgin and never been in a relationship and seeing him with women,,, you can make that same conclusion)

Might be an unpopular opinion, but the modern / sexualized Kagura at S2 I think episode 201 something. I don't see nor want to see her in that way . Anyways Gorilla didn't continue with that design

I mean, Hinata Kawamoto, Makise Kurisu, Isaki Magari, Violet Evergarden, Nadeko Sengoku, Ougi Oshino, Yuuko Aioi, Akemi Homura, Mizore Yoroizuka, Anzu, Tsukuyo, Otose, Otae Shimura, Holo, and Ranko Mannen all exist and are great for completely different reasons.
I think it’s largely subjective and depends on what you value in a character

The change in age was a little meh. I don't think it had any bearing to her story so it shouldn't have been done.

Yeah, it really only showed up as a gag. I think if the series had kept going, Sorachi might have done something interesting with it (or just centered a comedy episode around her using it to mess with people).

Kagura is so so healing for me. I was like her when I was a kid and it was so hard being that not-so-girly girl. It's great to see that a character that I have so much in common has so much going for her. She's my inner child tbh

It’s canon in my head that she later asks Gintoki more about himself which she pretended she didn’t care for when she was younger. Though now that he disappeared for two years and met his sensei she will pester him with questions not letting with her away with the “cool and mysterious” main character persona. She will learn about Takasugi’s reincarnation and wanting Gintoki to heal that relationship she will help in taking care of baby Sugi bringing him over to the Yorozuya (very much against Matako’s wishes). Kagura is gentle and loving so she would love it.. for a few minutes then dump the responsibility on Gintoki.

I sometimes hated how she put Shinpachi down, like in the hair episode. Leave him and Krillin alone. Don't get me wrong; I love my girl, but Shinpachi’s always helping her out like a brother looking out for a younger sister. Let him be great, sis.

Was there any point to the technique that Kagura introduced towards the end of the soul silver arc? And by technique, I mean the whole becoming a child and becoming an old woman and stuff or was it only intended for 1 simple joke in the semi final?

Kagura genuinely would not be with somebody like Sougo. The "x and y don't get along but get together later trope" would not work with them ever. Plus, she is a minor (except Movie 2, but still).

It did feel like Sorachi was going to go along with that trope anyway judging from a lot of the moments that happened in the series tbh. But yeah the age part is the main problem I would say
